Villa Rosebery opens for the FAI Autumn Days 2026.

Villa Rosebery opens to the public for the FAI Autumn Days : on Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, 2026, visitors will be able to enter the residence and its garden overlooking the Gulf of Naples . It will be open on both days.

The route extends towards the sea , within an area of ​​over 66 thousand square metres that combines Mediterranean flora with the naturalness of an English garden , where you can also find a neoclassical temple and panoramic views of the city.

What to visit

The guided tour covers several areas of the property, from the natural landscape to the historic rooms. This is the suggested itinerary for the two days.

• Il Park, between Mediterranean flora and English garden style.
• La Bourbon House, with its reception rooms.
• La Dock, the villa's seafront landing.
• La Great Foresteria, which closes the route.

The villa is one of the residences of the President of the Republic and is located in the Posillipo area : for this very reason, openings to the public are rare and linked to initiatives such as the FAI Days.

How to participate

The event is free and reserved for FAI members : registration can be done online, directly on the Fondo Ambiente Italiano website. Anyone who wishes can also make a donation, even as little as €3 , to support FAI's activities.

Reservations are required and can be made in the dedicated section of the FAI website, selecting your preferred visit slot and indicating the number of people who will be attending. Space is limited and slots tend to fill up in the first few days, so it's best to book early.
